AMSTERDAM NEXT | CITY GUIDE

From the hippie era, past the punk years to the dance raves. And everything in between.
The exhibition 50 Years of Paradiso will be on display in the Amsterdam Museum from Friday
30 March through 19 August 2018. Paradiso is truly part of Amsterdam’s cultural heritage and world famous. Bands from all over the world have performed there and many music enthusiasts from abroad came to Amsterdam especially to attend a concert at Paradiso.

Last month we were part of the Design event at the Hoxton hotel, a really nice informal day with different workshops and interesting panel talks. The Hoxton is such a nice place even if you are just popping in for a coffee, lots of people came especially for the event and many walked in for a bite, a drink and design inspiration. A day filled with lots of interaction, next to run the interior design blog vosgesparis for over ten years, I am co-founder of w/ Style and together with co founder Wen from BeeldSTEIL I took care of the styling and were part of the panel talk. It is always interesting to hear how other people live and what choices they make for their own home and being able to inspire others.
The event location is really colourful and I loved to see how we changed the look by bringing in soft colours, natural materials and a good dose of black with selected items from Frama, Moebe, Paper Collective, Just Right, Pillah, Elle Decoration, and Nomess

Travel Products Selected w/ StyleI think we all have things we love to take with us when travelling and for the occasion of the event we selected some of our favourite items and handy products we personally love.

I often take my laptop with me and love the leather goods by SPRDLX, I do not only use a laptop cover but really love to use different smaller bags which are handy to keep your business cards and cables ordered on the go. No need to say I am a huge fan of the travellers note book, this one we borrowed from Miscellaneousalso the address for the Frama and Moebe products we showed if you live in Amsterdam, I use them in different sizes, not only the bigger notebook but also the small passport size comes in really handy.

Different products also from the travel selection of Nomess with the Konjac sponges being my all time favourite. Watches from Leff Amsterdam, including their small speakers in the Nomess perspex boxes and skin care products from Amsterdam basedMarie Stella Maris.

Blogging the city - Amsterdam

Amsterdam Next is an Amsterdam City Guide blog by the author of Vosgesparis, an awarded interior design blog. Focused on Lifestyle and Interior design I made the AMS NXT City guide where I collect my personal favourites in town.

Find out where to look for Dutch design, the coolest concept stores and shop for yourself, your friends and your home. Use the guide to discover the different streets and areas and everything they offer, from fashion to concept store to breakfast and coffee.

The 'AMS NXT city guide' APP is no longer available from December 2018, I will add all selected hotspots to the site asap

How to use the guide

Check out the different areas in the section below | Amsterdam by Area| or via the tab at the top |AMS by area|where you will find more about each area and a few selected stores I think are interesting for Interior design, fashion and coffee addicts. As said we used to have an app with lots. We are working on a new format to add all info to the site.
